• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings into focus the wide variety of emerging information on energy medicine, and explores mechanisms by which mind and body processes influence the body's healing and performance potential. The author draws on information from an extraordinary range of sources - from physiology and biophysics, to examples drawn from the realms of spontaneous healing, cutting edge athletic and artistic performance, the martial arts, and various contemplative and spiritual practices.In this book, the author focuses on the roles of electrons, electromagnetic fields, and related energetic and quantum processes, the properties of space, and consciousness itself. Both readers with no previous knowledge of this subject area and those who have studied it in some detail will find insights here which are exciting, illuminating and will directly help their own therapeutic practice and performance potential.Provides an understanding of the nature of energy medicine by exploring science and common experienceExplains complex scientific concepts in ways that are both vivid and easy to graspConnects abstract theories with practical applicationsAddresses technical detail in a manner that allows readers from different backgrounds and with different depths of experience to choose their own level of accessIncludes detailed references with cutting-edge research and time-tested studies for the most well rounded perspective on the subjectWritten by a well-known and highly respected author in this complex and emerging field of study

Rezensionen

"Despite its title, the book is not so much about therapeutics and human performance as 'multiple working hypotheses' for understanding this practice. Thus it is designed not so much to convince as to inquire and stimulate creative thought. A such, it is admirable as a piece of experimental writing" David Mayor, European Journal of Oriental Medicine
